[resolved] WP 2.8 beta 1 Unique email per user (6 posts)

I see that "Enforce unique email addresses in Add/Edit users" is a feature of 2.8. What exactly does this mean? I have a blog with over 100 authors that I use the same email address for (because they send me their article and I post it). What will an upgrade from 2.7.1 do?

Interesting. At antiwar.com we have over 150 authors that editors (2 or 3) enter into the WP blog. I would like to assign each user the same email, but I suppose b/c I don't use those email addresses, I could just assign something "dead" like email123x@antiwar.com. Ideally, I could turn this feature off, but that is probably hard. Is the new DB structure impose UNIQUE on the email address of the wp_users table?
